Nearly there Amanda, Thanks, full srceen, ok so 90 % better, So to get
at the windows task bar, I had to hide the KDE2 task bar.
As the KDE task bar slid away to one side , the bottom of the windows
diplay moved up the screen about 1 1/2 " and the task bar dissapeared as
well !!!!.
I can reduce the hight of the windows window but cant get the bottom
1/2 " or so to display,
and get at the windows task bar.
Whats that another microsoft booby trap ?
TIA
regards
Richard
